Description

After the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the Raíces Cultural Center Ensemble was asked to perform at a benefit event sponsored by local Rutgers University students. Raíces Ensemble members and Raíces student performers created a presentation for the event, in honor of the orishas, or forces of nature, Yemayá and Ochún, the salt and the sweet water, asking for their healing energies to bring some peace and the space to rebuild amongst the devastation.
